Mattie Love - Illusionist - Quest D6 - Z RPG Series Z

Mattie Love checked her headdress feather, studying her mirrored image. Tonight was the Grand Illusion, this hall echoing past performances, each lamp a silent witness. Perfection mattered; she’d made a contract with the Guild demanding flawless execution, weaving reality and perception. The mirror reflected more than her face; glimpses of the stage, hidden mechanisms for flight. A flicker in the reflection caught her eye, a distortion near the archway. It wasn't planned. Mattie frowned, focusing on it. Something interfered with the projection, a ripple in the magic. She had to find it before the show or risk exposing secrets and incurring Guild wrath. The hall seemed longer, lamps brighter as she stepped forward, determined to unravel the mystery within her reflection.
